1Na Israel nyinaa kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hebron kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛn nyinaa yɛ wʼabusuafo. 2Mmere tenten bi a atwa mu, mpo bere a Saulo di yɛn so hene no, na wone obi a nokware na wudi Israel anim. Na Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, aka kyerɛ wo se, ‘Wobɛyɛ oguanhwɛfo ama me nkurɔfo Israel. Wobɛyɛ wɔn sodifo!’ ”
3Enti Hebron hɔ, Dawid ne Israel ntuanofo yɛɛ apam wɔ Awurade anim. Wɔsraa no ngo, sii no Israelhene sɛnea Awurade nam Samuel so hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
Dawid Ko Fa Yerusalem

4¶ And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 5And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David. 6And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.11.6 chief: Heb. head 7And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.11.7 it: that is, Zion 8And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.11.8 repaired: Heb. revived 9So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.11.9 waxed…: Heb. went in going and increasing

Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.11.19 that have…: Heb. with their lives?
20¶ And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three. 21Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three. 22Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.11.22 who had…: Heb. great of deeds 23And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear.11.23 great…: Heb. measure 24These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties. 25Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.
